What about the same advice for the citizens of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan? Should they have fought for their liberty against US troops the same way?


US troops have never invaded Iran. Maybe you are thinking of the 1980 Iraqi invasion? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_invasion_of_Iran

The 1953 coup in Iran was organized/supported by the CIA, but did not involve US troops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27état

During the 1979–1980 US embassy hostage crisis, there was an aborted attempt to rescue American hostages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis
